Inter Milan beat Barcelona in thrilling contest to reach Champions League final

Inter Milan staged a late fightback to beat Barcelona 4-3 in extra time after a pulsating contest at San Siro and reach their second Champions League final in three seasons.

Six days on from a thrilling 3-3 first-leg draw in Barcelona, the two sides served up another classic with Inter staring down the barrel of defeat three minutes into stoppage time.

But defender Francesco Acerbi, acting as an emergency striker, turned in Denzel Dumfries’ cross and Davide Frattesi then guided home fellow substitute Mehdi Taremi’s 99th-minute lay-off to send San Siro into new levels of ecstasy.

The greatest tie in Champions League history?
